2016 Energy Books: What’s Good, What’s Not / Catherine Wolfram, Energy Institute at Haas blog, 5/12/2016

This is the third year I’ve done a post on energy books, and this year I’m focusing on books that have been published since last year’s post. The most expensive part of reading a book is not the $29.95 you pay at the register but the opportunity cost of your time. So, in order to help prevent you from wasting this most precious resource, here are some reviews. Please let me know in the comments if there are other books you think should be on the list and whether you agree or disagree with my assessments… lire

Making the links between carbon markets in a post-Paris world / Thomas Kansy, Development in a changing climate, 2/12/2016

Last year in Paris, world leaders came together for the first time to commit to keeping global warming below 2°C.

L’OMS a récemment lancé une campagne nommée BreatheLife. Son objectif était de faire prendre conscience aux populations que la pollution de l’air – désignée ici comme un « tueur invisible » – représentait un risque sanitaire et environnemental majeur… lire

What to expect from Trump on energy policy / David Victor, Planet Policy, 17/11/216

With the unexpected triumph of Donald Trump, what’s in store for U.S. energy policy? He promises to pump more oil and gas, restore the coal industry, and roll back regulations, but those claims are not rooted in any plan for how to achieve them.
